You catch the Bob Young piece about Linux never capturing the desktop?

It seems to me that many of the "Linux companies" are giving up right
about the time when the Linux desktop is poised to start gathering some
steam.
But I've always understood it won't be the VA Linuxes and the Red Hats
that bring about the revolution. It will be us, the small
businesspeople putting it into other small businesses and organizations
like NYLXS pushing it into government. I had a customer ask _me_ about
Linux two weeks ago. That was a first. Usually I'm the one that has to
bring that subject up. Some people just want to save money, some want a
better solution. Everyone ends up getting both.
